Recommended Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack On A 2022 Kia Telluride

Question:

Hi. I am looking at getting the Kuat NV 2.0 BA22B-BA02B bike rack for our bikes when we go up to the mountains on vacation. I have a buddy that got one of these and the thing is awesome, so now I want one. Only thing is, I don't have a hitch on my new 2022 Kia Telluride. This will be all it is used for, for now anyway, but what do you recommend for a hitch?

With your 2022 Kia Telluride being rated to 5,000 pounds towing and 500 pounds of tongue weight capacity, I highly recommend the etrailer.com Class III hitch # e45ZR. This will match the towing capacity, if you do end up needing it at some point, and is technically rated to 750 pounds of tongue weight, but that is limited to 500 pounds due to your vehicle. With that said, this will have the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B without any issue at all and will be perfect for your vehicle.

As a side note, if you do end up using the hitch for other purposes, I suggest adding a wiring harness. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR is a plug and play option that will take little to no time to get installed and will have the longest lifespan of all the options we currently carry. It is highly recommended.
